>>Number 3, the effects are catastrophic, Number 4, we need to fix it quickly, and number 5 it’s not too late. Those 5 elements make up a very strong consensus. And on those points, the debate is over. "<<

the nearness of the danger, the size of the danger, that all that is problematic, I completely agree.

Do you see the problem? We don't know the size of the danger but it's "catastrophic." We don't know the nearness or size of the danger but we have a tipping point coming up in ten years.

Statements 3, 4, and 5 are too strong, to put it kindly. They need to be at least nuanced a bit if not corrected. Or, to the extent that there is flesh, they need to be fleshed out.
